every direction from this place. The
smoke from the burning forest is very
dense and interrupts the navigation OF
the river TO a great extent.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, November 22.-The

all day. and at times was almost Obscured
by the dense smoke which hovcrs over
anl around the city. 1t is the same
story that has been told for the past
%oek Of forest fires, which continue to
rage with undated fury. Sam Tate, Jr.,
who arrived this forenoon from Birming-
ham, Ala, ria the Kansas City, Mem
phis and Birmingham railroad, reports
fires all along the route between Mem
phis and Birmingham. They have been
particularly destructive in the neiehbor-
hood of Kersvillc, Tenn. on the line Of
the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern
railroad, where many miles of fences
have been destroyed.
4 special to the Eccajng Scimciar
from Brownsville. Tenn, says: Forest
fires in the Hatichi bottom are very alarm
ing, aud the scarcity Of water makes it
almost impossible to put them out. The
Lagoin bottom is also on fire. All local
packets are twentyfour to seventy-two
hours behind time, owing to the dense
smoke, which prevents them from run
ming at night. The weather is cloudy,
but there are no immediate prospects Of
rain.

servatiyes opened at Oxford to-day. Mr..
Ashmead Bartlett, NJ. F., presided. One
thousand delegates were present, repre-
sentng England, Wales, Scotland, aud

Queen upon her jubilee was adopted.
A resolution in favor of fair trade was
carried by large majority, and one in
favor of the reform of the English
Church was adopted unanimously.
A letter was read from Mr.. Bright re-
ferring to his proposal to send Irish bills
to a grand committee composed OF Irish
members. In the letter Mr.. Bright
says: The rebel party will not accept the
proposal because they are rebels, and
with rebel Irish members III the House

lowed to work. Gladstone has hobby
in which the rebel leaders for a time
have agreed to join him. He Is COM
mitted to that hobby and cannot condo
scend to consider a plan less pretentious
but more reasonable than his. Nothing
can be done until Gladstone's bills have
been entirely got rid Of. He insists
upon impossible legislation for Ireland
to the exclusion OF legislation for the
whole. The Gladstoneaps are anxious
to return TO power, and they are
furious because the Conservatives
are in Office, and they blame me

seem blind to the fact that Gladstone's

They forget that the electors of Great
Britain by majority of nearly two to
